If you’re interested in another way to save on the energy we have another great idea, add a heat pump to your water heater. A heat pump can be added to an existing water heater and is more efficient than a typical water heater; in fact, it’s three times more efficient than a gas water heater during the right conditions. The pump works by pulling in hot air already in your house, and pushing it through the AirTap’s coils which then heats the water in your tank style water heater’s tank.
The AirGenerate AirTap A7, from Beyond Pollution Inc.
The AirTap A7 electric heat pump plugs into an ordinary outlet and sits on top of any tank-style water heater (either gas or electric). Extremely efficient, it heats water to store in the tank mostly by drawing heat from the ambient air; (it can even work in freezing temperatures.) The tank-style water heater then only needs to boost the water heating rate during periods of exceptionally high load. This water heater is so efficient (with an energy factor rating of 2.2) that it’s eligible for a $300 federal income tax credit through at least 2010.
–Jim Dulley’s buyer’s guide to heat pump water heaters describes eight different other water heater heat pumps along with the AirTap in detail. The AirTap was his top pick, and is also the only electric water heater included in the GAMA.net listing of water heaters eligible for the federal income tax credit of $300.
